I don't particularly give a shit about gender but I do identify as male. I like a lot of stereotypical masculine shit, having a beard, doing combat sports, loving dumb action movies. But stuff like sexual aggression, the need to prove dominance and my manhood are straight up foreign to me. The idea that you can't have close loving friends of either gender, because if they're female you just want to fuck then and if they're male you're gay and just want to fuck them, is infuriating.
Not all men are toxic even if our society does predispose to them to be. Try to find some men you feel safe with and just hang out, eventually it will become fairly easy to differentiate the toxic ones from rest relatively quickly.
